Superbus
I want to tell you about Superbus, a musical group that I recently discovered via their Superbus Music MySpace page.
They're a French five piece group centered around female vocals. They initially formed in 1999 as a three piece group, Jennifer Ayache, Michel Giovannetti, and François Even. Two other members joined and then left and were replaced by Guillaume Roussé and Patrice Focone. In 2005, Guillaume Roussé was replaced by Greg Jacks.
They are often described on the Internet as a French POP band or French version of No Doubt, but their music actually spans a much broader range. They list No Doubt, Blink 182, Sum 41, Sublime, and Weezer as influences.
Some of their music is very popish but even there it shines for it's outstanding lyrics, very tight instrumentation, and very intricate melodies. Some of their music isn't pop at all, some of their music is the type that goes right to the soul and sinks in. Admittedly, they also do some music I don't like, some more industrial type that just repeats over and over. But on the whole I'd say I love about 80% of their music that I've heard.
They are a type of group you can't say you don't like until you've heard everything they do because they don't have just one genre or a few genre's, they are fairly versatile and hit some spots I wouldn't even know how to classify because I've never heard anything like it before.
